Just speaking from almost 4 years of experience on #bookstagram (dedicated bookish accounts and posts on the social app, Instagram) readers are starting to collect books for their Fall/Winter TBR. This is often the season where people dabble in the horror genre so I'm going to start rounding up each month's horror releases in an attempt to help people make some good, horror choices.
First up are two of my recommendations:
THE FEARING- John F. D. Taff
Book One: Fire & Rain is already out and you can read that now! Buy it!
Book Two: Water & Wind is ready for preorder with a release date of Aug. 20th
Sing Your Sadness Deep-
Laura Mauro
British Fantasy Award-winning author, and Shirley Jackson Award finalist Laura Mauro, a leading voice in contemporary dark fiction, delivers a remarkable debut collection of startling short fiction. Human and humane tales of beauty, strangeness, and transformation told in prose as precise and sparing as a surgeon’s knife. A major new talent!
